Leonard Chess' brother, Philip, was his partner in both the nightclub and Chess Records. However, Philip is never mentioned throughout this movie, and only appears in Chess Records scenes.
Chuck Berry is portrayed as being very careful with his money. This was due to being ripped off by club owners in his early days. As a result, wherever he played he refused to go onstage until the box office had been counted and he had received his share. Once he had piled up enough hits he would arrange for the persons owning the venues on the tour to hire local musicians - musicians who learned his songs from the records - and he would meet them right before going onstage and perform without rehearsal, calling out the songs one by one. Afterwards, he would take his guitar and amp, hop in his car, and leave.
Howlin' Wolf is depicted as being very threatening and unaccommodating. Among the great many famous musicians who were his fans, Jimi Hendrix made a point to seek him out, meeting him after a show at a small club. Hendrix tried to tell him how much he admired Wolf's music but was rebuffed. Wolf took one look at Hendrix in his extremely flashy clothes, insulted him profanely, and told him to get lost.
Muddy Waters would continue to play small clubs around the country well into his sixties - some as small as 100 seats and spread hundreds of miles apart.
Little Walter was the only person inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a harmonica player. His most notable contribution was that of holding a mic to his harmonica that was connected to an amplifier that was turned up full blast. The harmonica over drove the mic and that signal overdrove the amp, giving it a smooth, fuzzy sound, In other words, he was the first musician ever who intentionally used an overdrive sound.
"Mick Jagger: [From trailer] Mr. Waters. We're big fans. We named our band after one of your songs. Muddy Waters: Yeah? Mick Jagger: Rolling Stone."
"Muddy Waters: You and me not gonna wake up every morning and get everything we want. Mostly we got to take what come. And half the time, that's gonna be a bunch of bullshit."
